:00:15. > :00:48.Hello and welcome to the wonderful, wonderful one show with Alex Jones.
:00:49. > :00:53.And this week's wonderful co-host, the man behind the Citizen Kane
:00:54. > :00:59.beard, Adil Ray. Lovely to see you. Thank you, lovely to be here. It is
:01:00. > :01:04.a triple bill this evening. Citizen Kane and then Have I Got News For
:01:05. > :01:08.You. I might even do the weather after the news! I could not have
:01:09. > :01:11.picked a better day to be here, Katie Melua will be back performing
:01:12. > :01:20.with the hauntingly beautiful voices of the langur later in the show. --
:01:21. > :01:23.this evening is the man who has once again managed to transfix an entire
:01:24. > :01:31.nation by showing us the wonders of planet Earth. It's impossible not to
:01:32. > :01:53.be impressed by the sheer grandeur and splendour of the natural world.
:01:54. > :02:00.That footage is quite something. Please welcome, of course, Sir David
:02:01. > :02:06.Attenborough. Lovely to see you, nice to have you back. Well, we have
:02:07. > :02:10.lots to talk about because of the huge success of Planet Earth II but
:02:11. > :02:16.of course, we haven't seen you since you celebrated your 90th birthday so
:02:17. > :02:18.congratulations on that. Thank you. The same year, of course, as Her
:02:19. > :02:23.Majesty The Queen and we have a lovely picture of you two, last
:02:24. > :02:29.month, sharing a little joke. Do we know what the conversation was? I
:02:30. > :02:36.wouldn't dare tell you! Come on! I can't remember. She is very nice and
:02:37. > :02:42.charming. You must know that quite well by now. Well, I used to produce
:02:43. > :02:46.the Christmas broadcast. This is it. I saw her regularly come every year,
:02:47. > :02:51.but that was a long time ago. We heard that back in the day that one
:02:52. > :02:56.year, you had to pick her outfit. It was the very first year, actually,
:02:57. > :03:02.when we were trying to work out which room in Buckingham Palace we
:03:03. > :03:11.were going to use. And actually, it was a room with green wallpaper. I
:03:12. > :03:15.then said, "What will the Queen be wearing?" And I was told it was a
:03:16. > :03:19.green outfit. It's never going to work is it? I said it wouldn't work
:03:20. > :03:26.and they asked me to suggest what would work. So I suggested a rather
:03:27. > :03:34.sort of rusty kind of red thing. Rusty? Not rusty! It was a kind
:03:35. > :03:41.of... I don't know what you'd call it. Festive, red and green, lovely.
:03:42. > :03:47.It was not so festive, it was sort of maroon. That's all right.
:03:48. > :03:52.Oatmeal? That's a lovely colour. That kind of thing. You heard it
:03:53. > :03:56.here first, Sir David Attenborough went through the Queen's draws. We
:03:57. > :03:59.will be talking all about Planet Earth II in just a minute and if you
:04:00. > :04:03.have seen the Diaries segment at the end of each episode, you know the
:04:04. > :04:07.extraordinary lengths the team go to to film it. Sunday's episode is all
:04:08. > :04:13.about cities so we have asked one of the team's cameraman to add some
:04:14. > :04:19.Planet Earth Magic to one of Edinburgh's biggest spectacles.
:04:20. > :04:23.I'm Rob Whitworth, a photographer and film-maker. I known for taking a
:04:24. > :04:26.new visual approach making builds, many of which have gone viral. My
:04:27. > :04:33.ambition is to tell the story in one amazing, single-shot. To achieve it,
:04:34. > :04:34.I usually shoot with multiple cameras, simultaneously capturing
:04:35. > :04:42.the same scene from different angles. After the shoot, I blend the
:04:43. > :04:48.images together to create a seemingly impossible journey through
:04:49. > :04:54.space and time. The final film incorporates a range of shots from
:04:55. > :05:02.synapses to zoom in detail shots. -- from time lapses. On the BBC series
:05:03. > :05:10.Planet Earth II I really tried to push the boundaries. In one
:05:11. > :05:16.sequence, I film from every floor of a skyscraper to create this
:05:17. > :05:20.impossible rising shot, as Knight becomes day. In this decade, the
:05:21. > :05:29.urban environment is predicted to grow by nearly 30%.
:05:30. > :05:33.Now The One Show has set me the challenge of capturing the Royal
:05:34. > :05:35.Edinburgh military Tattoo as you have never seen it before, in one
:05:36. > :05:44.single, flowing movement. The cameras are in place. Let's do
:05:45. > :07:52.this. Job done!
:07:53. > :07:56.Just like that, job done, but we spoke to rob the cameraman and he
:07:57. > :07:59.said it took five cameras, three days rehearsal and the main thing
:08:00. > :08:04.against him was the weather in Edinburgh. They had a huge storm but
:08:05. > :08:09.then it clear and they managed it. Brilliant footage. Scottish weather,
:08:10. > :08:13.though, isn't it? People say that about Wales. It is so annoying. It
:08:14. > :08:17.is sometimes very sunny in Scotland and Wales, all right? Once a year.
:08:18. > :08:22.Sunday's episode is all about cities. Why did you choose that for
:08:23. > :08:26.this series? A very important environment, we all live there, of
:08:27. > :08:30.course, well, over half the human race lives in towns these days. And
:08:31. > :08:36.they occupy a very significant part of the earth's surface. And we have
:08:37. > :08:39.to share them. Animals come in because there are lots of good
:08:40. > :08:43.things to be had, like fish and chips and chicken dinners among
:08:44. > :08:47.other things. Tasty things. There are wild animals in this city, of
:08:48. > :08:54.course, not just rats necessarily but Fox is all over the place. --
:08:55. > :09:01.foxes all over the place. Cities all over the world are being colonised
:09:02. > :09:04.by different animals, monkeys in India for example, they live in
:09:05. > :09:09.cities all the time and manipulate cities. They know where the markets
:09:10. > :09:13.are, they know where there is good food. We have lovely footage of the
:09:14. > :09:20.monkeys you are talking about, here they are, free running across
:09:21. > :09:24.rooftops of jodhpur in India. He has chased off the bachelors away. But a
:09:25. > :09:30.splinter group has looped back and is harassing his females.
:09:31. > :10:01.APPLAUSE Fantastic. Great. One of the many
:10:02. > :10:05.scenes that captured the nation's imagination, really, and became a
:10:06. > :10:09.real talking point was the baby iguana running away from the race
:10:10. > :10:15.are snakes. It was footage the crew stumbled upon white mistake by all
:10:16. > :10:19.accounts. -- by the racer snakes. I've been on the Galapagos half a
:10:20. > :10:24.dozen times over the years, I think but I had never heard of these
:10:25. > :10:30.snakes waiting for the emergence of the baby turtles, marine iguanas, I
:10:31. > :10:36.mean. It is how they all come out, it is just amazing. Yes, and when
:10:37. > :10:41.they do, this is what happens. I was on the edge of my seat like
:10:42. > :10:45.everybody else, I think. I'm not that scare. Snakes but when I watch
:10:46. > :10:49.this, I had to put my feet up, it was so scary! Why do you think it
:10:50. > :10:57.captured everyone's imagination? What was it about this footage? To
:10:58. > :10:59.start with, only happens for a very short period in the year and I don't
:11:00. > :11:03.know any other Galapagos cameraman who has ever captured it before but
:11:04. > :11:08.isn't it intensely dramatic? And if I may say so, it is beautifully
:11:09. > :11:14.edited by the editors of the series. And given to refit music. --
:11:15. > :11:17.terrific music. All of the factors, all of the skills which you could
:11:18. > :11:22.have in film-making have been focused on that and produce an
:11:23. > :11:26.effect which absolutely gripped the nation. It certainly gripped me when
:11:27. > :11:29.I first saw it. You mention the music and you listen to it and at
:11:30. > :11:32.times it is like watching a Hollywood blockbuster. It is written
:11:33. > :11:38.by a Hollywood composer, Hans Zimmer. Heeded Pearl Harbor,
:11:39. > :11:42.gladiator. What difference does the music make? What impact does it
:11:43. > :11:48.have? Good music can add greatly to the drama of the film. Not everyone
:11:49. > :11:53.enjoys it. I get some letters from people who say they don't like the
:11:54. > :11:58.music. Really? Yes. You don't have to like it but I think the
:11:59. > :12:03.overwhelming majority of people find that it adds hugely to the drama.
:12:04. > :12:07.Hugely, yeah. You were saying about the first time you see the footage
:12:08. > :12:10.because of course you write and narrate the series. When does it
:12:11. > :12:15.come to you? When it is very raw or when it has been edited? In the old
:12:16. > :12:18.days, I used to go out with one cameraman and we would try to make a
:12:19. > :12:26.series, back in the 1950s, I'm talking about. These days, there are
:12:27. > :12:29.over 20 cameramen working on a series like this so the stuff comes
:12:30. > :12:34.in. There is a masterplan which has evolved as to what the sequences
:12:35. > :12:38.are, and then it comes in and it is edited and it is a big team effort.
:12:39. > :12:43.I don't come in until right at the end when I write the commentary and
:12:44. > :12:48.record it. But you are the icing on the cake! LAUGHTER
:12:49. > :12:52.We have a little girl who is two and has had a go at putting her own
:12:53. > :13:03.commentary on some of the series. Let's have a look at this. It is a
:13:04. > :13:10.buzzy bee! A polar bear. It is a goat. What is that? A square role.
:13:11. > :13:17.Oh, a scroll. I can see more squirrels. It is a bear. -- a
:13:18. > :13:27.squirrel. I can see two bears. She is only two! Do you think Juno has
:13:28. > :13:30.potential? You might have to retire. It is remarkable, aged two, she
:13:31. > :13:34.cannot have seen any of these creatures except on TV and perhaps
:13:35. > :13:38.not even then. But she has been such a hit on social media, we thought we
:13:39. > :13:41.would get her in and she has had a look at the episode that goes out on
:13:42. > :13:50.Sunday to see what she thought. This was her reaction. Oh, look, that's a
:13:51. > :14:01.monkey. He's jumping over the wall. Oh, look, he's eating. A crisp!
:14:02. > :14:13.Look, he's going like this. Oh, look, there's a baby one. APPLAUSE
:14:14. > :14:16.Amazing. She is only two? And she recognised that that was a baby
:14:17. > :14:21.monkey. That's extraordinary. I mean, that is really very clever and
:14:22. > :14:24.perceptive. Very much so and she would have loved to have stayed and
:14:25. > :14:28.met tube but it was well past their bedtime so unfortunately, dad Adam,
:14:29. > :14:32.thanks for bringing her in but he had to take home. And she has a
:14:33. > :14:37.meeting with her agent to discuss her next TV deal! Planet Earth II is
:14:38. > :14:39.out on DVD and you can see the final episode of the series on Sunday at
:14:40. > :14:52.8pm on BBC One. He is one of 2016's unlikeliest
:14:53. > :14:58.stars but Ted McDermott has become one of the unlikeliest stars. We
:14:59. > :15:06.sent Lucy to make peace on a minute man.
:15:07. > :15:13.L is for the way you look at me... Millions of people have enjoyed
:15:14. > :15:17.watching videos of Ted and his son after videos of them singing in the
:15:18. > :15:25.car went viral online. But sadly Ted doesn't know of his fame as he was
:15:26. > :15:34.diagnosed with outsiders in 2013. # My darling, tell me when...
:15:35. > :15:46.They call him the song a minute man and I'm here to meet him.
:15:47. > :15:54.# How much I love you... Ted has been an entertainer all his
:15:55. > :15:59.life. He was a Butlins redcoat and then travelled the country singing
:16:00. > :16:07.in the bars and clubs. I met him in Blackpool in 1974 and I went to the
:16:08. > :16:11.national at Blackpool and he was singing there. What did you think? I
:16:12. > :16:19.thought his voice was absolutely amazing. Did you think, that is the
:16:20. > :16:28.man for me? Not initially! I was just dumbstruck by his voice! When I
:16:29. > :16:33.was a kid I was quite embarrassed about it because he was an
:16:34. > :16:39.entertainer and I was like... But he has got a gift and when he started
:16:40. > :16:42.for debt -- forgetting those songs, I thought, my dad is going to
:16:43. > :16:46.disappear and disappear into obscurity, and we would never hear
:16:47. > :16:50.his voice again, and I didn't want that to happen. There are days when
:16:51. > :16:57.he doesn't know me or my mum at all. He can get quite aggressive. I don't
:16:58. > :17:01.think people realise with Alzheimer's how difficult it can be
:17:02. > :17:09.if you are in with that confusion and the confusion often has anger.
:17:10. > :17:14.As soon as he is happy and singing, the darkness is cleared for a bit
:17:15. > :17:27.and he is more joyful, really. So your dad was a tenor. I use the
:17:28. > :17:36.same? -- are you the same? # In my heart! As well as singing
:17:37. > :17:43.every day, Ted has already recorded a single.
:17:44. > :17:48.# You make me feel so young... Simon is now crowdfunding to release an
:17:49. > :17:53.album of Ted's songs, with some of the proceeds going to the
:17:54. > :18:05.Alzheimer's Society. # Such a happy individual
:18:06. > :18:10.# I want to go play hide-and-seek... I get a buzz out of the fact that he
:18:11. > :18:21.knows there's something going on. What does music mean to you? I don't
:18:22. > :18:24.know. It brings you joy. If you don't bring joy to people there
:18:25. > :18:32.something wrong with you. # I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
:18:33. > :18:37.# Just like the ones I used to know...
:18:38. > :18:52.# Tree tops glistened... If you are watching and you are
:18:53. > :18:59.available on Boxing Day I would love to but you! He's from the city of
:19:00. > :19:04.the stars, my city, Birmingham! Katie Melua has joined us in the
:19:05. > :19:10.studio. Hello. Your album is finally out but it's been a while coming. It
:19:11. > :19:14.has been, but can I say, before we get onto that, this is such an
:19:15. > :19:19.honour to meet you and sit with you. So, guessed, it seems a bit crazy to
:19:20. > :19:31.just chat about my album now! -- so, yeah. But my album is out. My record
:19:32. > :19:35.is out. This is just lovely! It took a while to make it because it was
:19:36. > :19:42.made in quite a different way to the other records I made. How? I parted
:19:43. > :19:48.ways with my previous collaborator. I have a great creative partner but
:19:49. > :19:53.as I neared my 30s, our creative goals drifted and I also discovered
:19:54. > :19:57.a choir from my home country of Georgia, and they are called the
:19:58. > :20:02.Gori Women's Choir. They are here with me and we will be performing at
:20:03. > :20:09.the end of the show. It is a very unique sound, this, Katie, isn't it?
:20:10. > :20:13.How would you describe it? Well, the traditional polyphonic singing is on
:20:14. > :20:19.the UNESCO intangible list because it is very unique and they have very
:20:20. > :20:22.rich harmonies. This record In Winter we have teamed up with a
:20:23. > :20:27.brilliant British composer and he did a fantastic job because I have
:20:28. > :20:31.been back home and it's a very rich sound, but for the record, I'm a
:20:32. > :20:36.British singer in a sense, and I moved over here when I was eight.
:20:37. > :20:41.And the record's about my perspective of the two different
:20:42. > :20:46.cultures. And how I view life in the West from the Georgian perspective
:20:47. > :20:52.and vice versa, because it's really fascinating to have these dual
:20:53. > :20:56.perspectives. And In Winter is the most beautiful record for this time
:20:57. > :20:59.of year. And you will be performing with the choir, won't you? Yes, it
:21:00. > :21:07.is a Ukrainian song we discovered. Many people know it as the famous
:21:08. > :21:13.Carol Of The Bells, but its roots are Ukrainian. We look forward to
:21:14. > :21:15.that very much. This weekend marks the 80th
:21:16. > :21:23.anniversary of one of the most famous radio broadcasters, when King
:21:24. > :21:30.Edward VIII announced his abdication from the throne, choosing love over
:21:31. > :21:33.his royal duty. Wallis Simpson was described as the life of -- life and
:21:34. > :21:41.soul of the party, but her later years tell a very different tale.
:21:42. > :21:45.On the 24th of April 19 86, Wallis Simpson died here in how opulent
:21:46. > :21:49.villa in Paris. She had married into the British Royal Family but by the
:21:50. > :21:54.time she died, her closest companion was her lawyer. She was the
:21:55. > :21:58.glamorous American divorcee whose love affair with King Edward VIII
:21:59. > :22:03.caused a constitutional crisis in the 30s that inspired Hollywood for
:22:04. > :22:09.years to come. You certainly know the name to a woman's heart.
:22:10. > :22:13.In 1936, Edward chose to turn his back on all of this and abdicate
:22:14. > :22:18.rather than give up the woman he loved. The story is well known. The
:22:19. > :22:20.Royal Family shunned them, the nation was divided, but Edward was
:22:21. > :22:27.obsessed with his exotic good time girl. She was so chic. There eat --
:22:28. > :22:30.there's a reason why she earned the reputation for being one of the best
:22:31. > :22:36.dressed women on Earth. She really was. When she married, she became
:22:37. > :22:40.the Duchess of Windsor. She was never treated like a member of the
:22:41. > :22:44.Royal Family in life but her will was classified as Royal. That means
:22:45. > :22:47.the full contents might never be revealed. But there's plenty of
:22:48. > :22:51.speculation about it. What we do know is that when she died, she left
:22:52. > :22:57.behind a considerable fortune, mostly jewellery. It was auctioned
:22:58. > :23:05.the following year and it fetched ?31 million, equivalent to ?100
:23:06. > :23:09.million in today's money. That money was all given to a French research
:23:10. > :23:13.charity with which she had no obvious connection.
:23:14. > :23:17.Edward had died in 1972 and some have speculated that in her final
:23:18. > :23:22.years, she was being manipulated by the lawyer who took care of her
:23:23. > :23:31.affairs. Her gatekeeper and all prisoner, depending how you look at
:23:32. > :23:35.it, was a French lawyer who stopped allowing Wallis Simpson's friends
:23:36. > :23:40.from going to see her. She had absolute control over everything to
:23:41. > :23:51.do with her. She was interviewed by the BBC in 1982. For seven years
:23:52. > :24:01.now, she has been bedridden... Being only able to be taken to an armchair
:24:02. > :24:07.in front of the windows to look at the trees. This woman is supposed to
:24:08. > :24:14.be her lawyer and it was a great power trip, and I think a very sick
:24:15. > :24:19.one, too. The journalist has written a biography of the Duchess of
:24:20. > :24:24.Windsor. I think Suzanne was a bit in love with Wallis, wanted to
:24:25. > :24:33.protect her and convey what she believed were her wishes. The jewels
:24:34. > :24:36.of the Duchess of Windsor... Within a year of the Duchess' death, she
:24:37. > :24:44.organised this amazing sale of the century of all of Wallis' jewellery,
:24:45. > :24:51.but these were iconic pieces and raised ?31 million. Let's have a
:24:52. > :25:00.look at some of the jewellery. Ah, that beautiful diamond and Onyx
:25:01. > :25:03.Panther. I was inspired to try on this fabulous bracelet. It's
:25:04. > :25:10.wonderfully liked and articulated and it moves as you move. It is a
:25:11. > :25:13.stunning collection and it raised the equivalent today of ?100
:25:14. > :25:18.million, and that then remarkably was given to this French charity.
:25:19. > :25:24.What happened after that? We had Suzanne telling reporters this is
:25:25. > :25:31.her version in her discussions of Wallis' wishes. Without a will it is
:25:32. > :25:34.hard to know if these were her actual wishes or if Suzanne chose
:25:35. > :25:40.the charity herself. There was no obvious connection. It is
:25:41. > :25:44.mysterious. We just don't have a document which has Wallis'
:25:45. > :25:49.signature. Once renowned of the life and soul of the party, at the end,
:25:50. > :25:59.Wallis was a silent recluse. There is little doubt in my mind Wallis
:26:00. > :26:06.wanted to be isolated. This was a woman who loved people. She was
:26:07. > :26:13.buried in winter alongside her beloved Edward. -- in Windsor.
:26:14. > :26:17.That dual array was absolutely beautiful, wasn't it? Speaking of
:26:18. > :26:23.which, we are going to hear from Katie and acquire shortly. And look
:26:24. > :26:29.at that coat! She has named it! On Wednesday's show, as you or somebody
:26:30. > :26:34.you know still got a letter they wrote to Santa as a child? Get in
